Digital Model of Stochastic Road Irregularities to Vehicles in Time Domain

Based on the white noise filtration method, the time domain model of stochastic road irregularities was established including the model of multipoint time-delay correlative excitation from the same track and the model of space-coherance excitation from the bilateral tracks of a vehicle on the road. Further the development was made from the time domain model of one dimensional road irregularities to two-dimensional road surface and the simulation realization completed in MATLAB environment. The case studies demonstrated that the digital road surface characteristics simulated by white noise filtration was consistent with that of a standard grade road surface, thus formed virtual road surface which provided digital road environment efficiently and conveniently for virtual prototyping (VP) and virtual proving ground (VPG) of vehicles.
